Answer:
Apples and Banana
a) Profit maximizing prices:
i) For Apple = $100
ii) For Banana = $40
b) Profits equal revenue minus costs:
i) For Apple = $100Q - (20 + 10Q) = $60Q
ii) For Banana = $40 - (26.5 + 5Q) = $8.50Q
c) To maximize profit, the price to charge is $100 for Apples and $40 for Banana.
d) I would expect to earn a profit of $68.50 for a set of apple and banana.
Explanation:
To maximize profit, Apple and Banana will be sold separately.
But, selling them together, the best profit maximizing prices will be $100 for Apples and $10 for Banana.
At this combined price, the banana still makes a contribution of $5 per unit towards offsetting the fixed cost of $26.50
Answer:
1,875 units.
Explanation:
Break-even is the point where a company neither generate profit not make loss, or we can say that it the sales at which the operating profit will be zero. It can be calculated for sales volume as-well-as dollar sales. Let's prepare a contribution income statement to calculate the break-even sales in quantity. We know that:
EBIT / Operating Profit = (SP * Q) - (VC * Q) - Fixed Cost
where
SP = Selling Price
Q = Quantity / Units
VC = Variable cost
As it is understood that the operating profit at break-even is zero, simply put it in the above contribution income statements along with other figures given in the question.
⇒ 0 = (20 * Q) - (12 * Q) - 15,000
OR 15,000 / (20 - 12) = Q
⇒ Break-even units = Q = 1,875 units.
Answer:
Activity expected duration = 2.333
Explanation:
Given:
Optimistic (a) = 1
Most likely (m) = 2
Pessimistic (b) = 5
Activity’s expected duration = ?
Computation of Activity expected duration:
Activity expected duration = [1 + 4(2) + 5] / 6
Activity expected duration = [1 + 8 + 5] / 6
Activity expected duration = [14] / 6
Activity expected duration = 2.333
Answer: Increased profit as opposed to making them internally.
Explanation:
Make or buy decisions are management decisions as to whether production components should be produced internally or outsourced.
Buy decision
Unit price= $34
Total unites= 19900
Total cost= $34*19900=$676,600
Make decision
$
Direct materials 178,000
Direct Labor. 380,000
Variable overhead. 104,000
Relevant fixed overhead 260,000
Total $922,000
Unit price for make=922000/19900
Unit price=$46.33
Since buying outside is more cheaper than producing internally, it will be more profitable to outsource(buy).
Assume that skilled labor costs twice as much as unskilled labor, a profit maximizing firm will hire until the marginal product of unskilled labor is half that of skilled labor.
A profit maximizing firm is a firm that tries to create products that are of good quality at the barest or smallest cost.
The marginal product falls after an additional amount of the resource has been added. It is the extra amount that is gained due to the addition of an extra unit.
Due to the fact that both the skilled and unskilled would decrease eventually, the company would have to hire both at equal marginal products.
